Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary
Today’s day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees was sponsored by Shaun Mayo for Lacy Rambo!
“For the person who has such an amazing heart for the gang… and also who loves a good Jamie story now and then.”
Shaun, in addition to the difference you help make for the chimpanzees as one of our interns, we so appreciate your kind heart in choosing to celebrate Lacy with a day of sanctuary!
Lacy, all of us here hope you have the best day and thanks for loving the chimps from afar!

Brynn Edwards sponsored a day of sanctuary and celebration in honor of Sarah Sweeney!
“Happiest of birthdays to one amazing lady! We hope you are having an amazing day!”
Brynn, thank you so much for including the chimpanzees in your celebration of Sarah! We love that they are held in so many hearts and minds.
Happy Birthday from all of us here, Sarah! I’d say have one filled with Honey B-style, but it could perhaps be a little awkward at times…but super fun nonetheless, which is really all that matters. 😉
Your Chimpanzee Pal, the one and only, Honey B (we love her so much – thank you for loving her, too) <3:

This special day of sanctuary was sponsored by Willy B’s pals, Mrs. Souers’ third grade class!
“Mrs. Souers’ third grade class recently became pals with Willy B. The students noticed that March 1st is Willy B’s birthday so they wanted to help him celebrate!”
Willy B turns 30 today!! As we celebrate Willy B’s first birthday here at his new sanctuary home, we have so much to be grateful for. Not least of all his many wonderful friends. Heartfelt thanks, Mrs. Souers’ and your amazing third grade class, for loving Willy B and helping us celebrate how very special he is and how very grateful and honored we are to have him as part of our chimp family. We love this big, handsome guy and his quirky self more with each passing day. And thank you to each of you for being a part of Willy B’s family and for making a lasting difference in his life.
Happy Birthday, Willy B!!
We are so lucky to have two days of sanctuary sponsored for the chimpanzees today! The first, is graciously sponsored annually by Joan O’Flaherty in memory of her parents, Ned and Noreen O’Flaherty, on the date of their shared birthday. Joan shared this message about today:
“My parents loved animals and supported conservation so they would be supporters of the sanctuary and enabling the chimpanzees to have lives worth living.”
Joan, thank you so much for choosing to make the chimpanzees’ lives better with each passing year as a way to honor your dear parents and their legacy, which clearly lives on in you. We’re so grateful to you and hope today is one of comforting and joy-filled remembrance.

Today was sponsored by Linda Jovanovich in memory of her dad, Voyo “Joe” Jovanovich (2/29/1920 – 5/22/2010).
“Remembering my favorite Leap Year Baby, my dad, who left us at age 23 1/2 and would have celebrated his 25th (!) today. Love you always, Dad!”
Linda, thank you so much for such a sweet remembrance of your dad and for making a difference in the chimps’ lives as you celebrate him. May today be full of comforting and joyful memories.

“A birthday gift for Elizabeth, to help the chimps she enjoys working with so much.”
Margaret, thank you so much for celebrating Elizabeth’s special day in such a generous way!
Elizabeth, we hope it’s your best birthday yet! May that big heart of yours come back to you tenfold. We’re so lucky to have you as part of our chimp family.
